Objective: Disorders of arousal (DoA) are characterized by an intermediate state between wakefulness and deep sleep, leading to incomplete awakenings from NREM sleep. Multimodal studies have shown subtle neurophysiologic alterations even during wakefulness in DoA. The aim of this study was to explore the brain functional connectivity in DoA and the metabolic profile of the anterior and posterior cingulate cortex, given its pivotal role in cognitive and emotional processing.

Patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder are presumed to be at higher risk of sleep disorders due to the potential interference that persistent thoughts and compulsions may exert on sleep. Although there are studies on sleep findings in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder, there are few systematic reviews on the presence of sleep disorders in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder for adults and children. Preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed to perform a comprehensive search of PubMed and Web of Science using the MeSH terms "obsessive-compulsive disorder" and "sleep wake disorders".

Non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep parasomnias are abnormal motor and/or emotional behaviors originating from "deep" slow-wave sleep and with a multifactorial origin. The relationship between NREM parasomnias and psychopathology has been a topic of ongoing debate, but a comprehensive and systematic perspective has been lacking. This systematic review, conducted according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA-P) guidelines, aims to fill this gap in the literature.

Article Synopsis
  • This study aimed to find out what factors contribute to sleep-related injuries (SRI) and persistent sleep-related injuries (pSRI) in patients with isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD).
  • A retrospective review of 388 iRBD patients showed that 83% reported a history of SRI, with some suffering severe injuries, and factors like depressive symptoms, alcohol consumption, and certain EMG activity were linked to these injuries.
  • Despite treatment, 18% of patients continued to experience pSRI over an average follow-up of 5.1 years, highlighting the need for better safety measures and targeted screening for those at risk.
